XF 2.1 How to stop ios keyboard losing capitalisation on new paragraph. Or is it a bug?

[Mr Lucky]

At first I thought this was a bug, maybe it is. Who knows?

On iPhone, when you press return the keyboard changes to capitals. However for a new paragraph you have to press return again in order to get the space.

The keyboard then goes back to lower case.

NB: mentioned here but the only answer seems to be switch to bbcode editor!)

So is there a way to fix this?

(nb: it all works fine with dictation if if I say "new parargraph"

I have faced the same issue for quite some time.

IOS is fairly buggy with the editor. There are a bunch of discussions about it. I actually put some code in (thanks to someone here) that disables it by default when it detects an IOS user. (the same as clicking the settings gear)

Are you able to share that code?

There is a suggestion here that would fix this issue by requiring only one return to start a new paragraph:

Use semantic paragraph <p> tags in post content instead of line breaks <br> (Accessibility, Semantics, Bug Fixing, Styling, SEO?)

I've commented about this before but have been recommended to start a suggestions thread! Currently, the Froala editor uses paragraph tags for a hard return and line breaks for soft return if you inspect the HTML while editing. This is how things should work and do in almost all WYSIWYG...

My code to disable the BB editor on mobiles is here but untested in 2.2, there were some editor changes:

XF 2.1 - Turn BBCode editor off by default on mobile devices

I'm trying to work out how to load the editor in BbCode OFF mode on mobile devices. I'm hoping I can just create a few lines of JavaScript to hook in to this and flick it off each time. It provides a MUCH better experience on mobiles while this is turned off and is easily turned on if people...

You should use @Rhody's code from below that post, he makes a good distinction to remove Android devices from the mix which I didn't realise at the time didn't suffer the same issue.

I actually just took the code OUT, to get ready for eventual 2.2. This is what I had, thanks to Adam

Does it not work with 2.2? Not had a chance to test yet. Certainly the issue is still there.

I don't know, but took it out just in case.

It looks as though the auto-capitalisation issue has been fixed by Froala and will therefore be fixed in XF 2.2.7.

Those changes have been rolled out here already.

Fixed - Froala iOS - Tapping return twice loses auto-capitalization
